It had reached the point where she couldn’t go more than five minutes without grinding up a pill and snorting it. Despite the worldwide success of her ground-breaking memoir, Prozac Nation - and the fame and accolades that accompanied it - nothing had changed inside Elizabeth Wurtzel. She saw herself as a terrible failure. She couldn’t maintain a relationship. She was fired from every job she held. Exhausted from trying to make sense of a world she saw as increasingly fake, she left New York and headed for Florida. But not before securing from her psychiatrist a prescription for Ritalin - the drug used to treat hyperactivity in children and to which she was to become, for a dangerous time, ruinously addicted.
